Fair Play

Written by Ella Road

Directed by Deidra LaWan Starnes

October 16 - November 2, 2025

The clocks are set. The line is drawn. Ann and Sophie have a chance to be champions. As their relationships, their bodies and their very identities are pulled into public scrutiny, does being exceptional come at too high a price? A gripping exploration of the underside of women's athletics, Fair Play is the new work from Ella Road (The Phlebotomist), “the most promising young playwright in Britain.” – The Telegraph
